[net.comics] Doug Moench & Batman

spirit@fau.UUCP (06/09/83)

It seems that Doug Moench is finally getting a handle on Batman
and is producing the kind of stories I was waiting for. To say
that the Nocturna storyline was inspirational or even great is
a pretty big exaggeration, but by the end of Detective #530 the
old feel for metaphores which was his trademark in MOKF is back
in full blossom, and I for one am glad. I had pretty much given
up on Bats when Conway was at the helm.

It's kind of ironic that Moench, who has been doing that Batman
clone, Moon Roach, uh, I mean Knight, has taken so long to
develop a decent feel for the original.

Well, anyway it's good to see Batboy and Rubin back in the
picture, evin if Rubin is being replaced by that weasel Jason Todd.
